Actually, Hazoret (before hour of devastion) would have considered Bolas both immortal AND a god. That being said, there is a solid argument as to whether Bolas is immortal. He doesn't age, being a dragon, and is extraordinarily powerful. So unless someone proactively kills him- which Hazoret would not think possible, he will never die.

First, the commander. I am not the slightest bit opposed to custom commanders- in fact I've been trying to get my playgroup to do an all-custom game for quite a while. But I do have a problem with hilariously, ridiculously broken custom commanders, because they give innocent custom card designers like me a bad name. The Dark One is the most ludicrously OP card that I have ever seen pass to the realm of reality- outside of a joke, that is. The concept that any playgroup would willingly allow this card to exist is laughable.

Secondly, the decklist: what on earth is this deck even trying to do?? You have a needlessly large amount of mana ramp, especially for a deck that plans to set its opponents so incredibly far behind on mana. It looks like this is your first commander deck- like you just threw together a bunch of pretty good cards and a few not very good ones. And I'm all for that, I love to help out a new commander player. I was asking above for a relative experience level, and I'll admit it, the way I said it I sounded like an asshole. Sorry. That was not my intent. But my question stands- are you new to the game, or just the format, or neither?

If you want combo, that's the place to go. However, if you want a lil more control, esper is by far my favorite color for that!
Aminatou, the Fateshifter
, controlling your topdecks, blinking your things- there are a lot of fun interactions with this fellow. If you're willing to put the money down,
Sen Triplets
can be a wicked commander as well, and can be played very politically.

I actually primarily enjoy casual modern and commander. My most delightfully flavorful modern deck is a jund combo of Bloodrush and
Varolz, the Scar-Striped
. I play a lot of sort of semi-budget commander decks. My more competitve commander brews (still pretty casual but they can do a surprising amount of damage) usually go around 300$.

I knew what you meant by budget, Chasmolinker. A decent modern deck costs 500-2k$. I'm familiar with what not being casual is, I'm understand the modern meta and price tag, I just choose to reject that in favor of the play style I prefer.

And it's just that- the play style I prefer. Just me. I have a lot of friends who are super competitive. They consider it a fun challenge. I consider it an unnecessary deck building restriction. Are either of us totally right? No. Because both our arguments have some truth to them. In the end, we prioritize the joy that we get out of the game. For me, that's a game of commander with no combos and no stax! And for them, it's a game of pauper where they have tron out, a
Stonehorn Dignitary
, a
Mnemonic Wall
, and
Ghostly Flicker
in the graveyard.

TL;DR I understand and see the appeal in competitive, especially competitive modern. It's a nice cup of tea, but it's not my favorite. My comment was meant to poke fun and not to actually offend or criticize.
